The circle of art

Over dit evenement

WE ALL KNOW THIS FEELING.
IT'S TIME TO LET GO OF...

SOMEONE SPECIFIC IN YOUR LIFE?
SOMETHING YOU OWN?
A SITUATION YOU’VE BEEN HOLDING ON TO?
OR MAYBE YOU STRUGGLE TO LET GO OF
YOUR OWN BEHAVIOR PATTERNS
OR (OLD) WAYS OF THINKING?

I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING EXPERIENCES AS A HUMAN BEING:
TO FIND ACCEPTANCE IN CHANGE…
AND IN LETTING GO.

WHY NOT MAKE ART WHILE DOING IT?
THE ART OF LETTING GO:
I CALL IT THE: "CIRCLE OF ART”

BECAUSE THERE IS AN ART IN LETTING GO.

TO ME ART IS ALL ABOUT ACKNOWLEDGING
YOURSELF IN ALL FACETS AND STAYING
CLOSE TO YOUR HEART.

AND WHEN YOU LIVE FROM YOUR AUTHENTIC
SELF, THERE’S A RISK THAT OTHERS WON’T GET
IT, LIKE IT, APPRECIATE IT OR BEING ABLE
(OR WILLING) TO SUPPORT IT.

JUST LIKE ART.

CREATING ART (IN ANY FORM) IS BEING
CONNECTED TO YOUR FEELINGS AND BRING
ALL THOSE PARTS INTO EXPRESSION—
JOY, PLEASURE, FRUSTRATION, SADNESS.
AND OFTEN: LETTING GO OF CONTROL
AND SURRENDERING TO THE PROCESS OF CREATION IT SELF.

IN THIS CREATIVE GATHERING IT IS ALL
ABOUT THE PROCESS OF SURRENDERING.

IN THIS GROUP WE’LL START TO MAKE
OUR OWN PAINTING, MAYBE IT'S INTUITIVE--
OR MAYBE YOU HAVE A CONCRETE IDEA OF
WHAT YOU WOULD LOVE TO CREATE.

AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, I WILL
ASK EVERYONE TO INSTANTLY PUT DOWN THE
PENCILS AND PASS THROUGH THE CANVAS
TO YOUR NEIGHBOR.

WE WILL REPEAT THIS IN A CIRCLE;
OUR CIRCLE OF ART.

IT WILL BE AN EXPERIENCE ON ITS OWN.
ALL FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS ARE WELCOME. SIMPLY INVITING YOU TO FEEL THROUGH ALL
THAT WANTS TO BE FELT
IN THIS MOMENT OF TIME.

MAYBE YOU'LL EXPERIENCE DISCOMFORT OF
NOT BEING IN CONTROL OF WHAT YOU INTENTIONALLY WANT TO PAINT.

MAYBE YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF QUESTIONING
YOUR CREATIVE SKILLS AND TALENT.

PERHAPS YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT SOMEONE
ELSE IN THIS CIRLE IS CREATING.

IT COULD ALSO BE THAT OTHER PERSONAL FEELINGS OR THOUGHTS SUDDENLY ENTER
THE ROOM. AND ALL IS OKAY, ALL IS WELCOME.

THIS MIGHT SOUND PRETTY HEAVY,
AND WHO KNOWS? MAYBE IT IS.

BUT MY INTENTION IS TO CONNECT ALL OF
THIS TO THE ART OF HAVING FUN.

ANOTHER PIECE OF ART.

BECAUSE I FEEL WHEN WE FIND OUR WAY TO
ADD FUN TO AAAANY MOMENT IN TIME--
EVEN THE HARD, SAD AND ANNOYING ONES...

WE WILL START REALIZE THAT WE
ACTUALLY ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION
TO BE IN CONTROL.

BUT IT IS ABOUT BEING IN CONTROL
INTERNALLY → THE WAY WE THINK, FEEL, ACT.
INSTANT OF OUR URGE TO WANT TO BE IN CONTROL OF THINGS THAT EXTERNALLY.

WE WILL START WITH A CACAO RITUAL.
A PRECIOUS MOMENT TO BECOME
AWARE OF - AND SHARE - OUR INTENTIONS.

CACAO HOLDS A BEAUTIFUL WARM & LOVING ENERGY THAT WILL SUPPORT US TO BE MORE CONNECTED TO OUR HEARTSPACE--

BESIDES THE CACAO THERE WILL ALSO BE TEA, WATER & FRUITS.
